Two blocks east of Times Square, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, in an area of mostly small, uber-trendy hotels, this literary lion has traded in its famed patina and quirky one-of-a-kind character for a place at the table with Marriott. Returning travelers find the arrangement a bit Faustian, with the owners selling the hotel's soul for a key into Marriott gold-mine of a reservation service. The Beaux Arts façade remains and stands out in this neighborhood.
